This refreshing mandarin fruit salad is served with whipped coconut cream, toasted almonds and raspberry chocolate
Juicy mandarins add fresh, tangy flavour, apples and pears bring crunch, and bananas contribute with lots of sweetness.
That being said, you can customise a fruit salad exactly to your taste buds or use up whichever fruits are available in your fruit bowl!
We tossed the salad with chopped, toasted almonds and raspberry chocolate for extra deliciousness. If preferred, you can substitute with other nuts, cocoa nibs, coconut flakes, or seeds.
To serve, we added whipped coconut cream for that decadent finishing touch.
Enjoy for breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea, or dessert.
Serves 4-6.
